Psychologically I was dreading this 20 minute run, but ran the entire 20 which felt great, so much so cranked the treadmill up to 12kmph and had an extra 90 second sprint! The mental gremlins we're getting the better of me, but having completed W5, knowing I can run 20 minutes, I've nothing to fear in the remaining weeks and can't wait for my next run, good luck everyone :-)

Great job. Respect the next one, it looks easier than it is, watch that pace. You’re doing really well and 12kph is quick.

Many thanks UnfitNoMore...It certainly wasn't a constant 12kph during the run :-) a steady 7kph for 20mins with a final hurrah at the end!

Really? I figured you’d gone up a couple of k... that’s an impressive gear up. Once you’re used to running those two and some in between you’ll be set for running plans... well done, you got this.

Not what you're looking for?
